Multidimensional Tungsten Oxides for Efficient Solar Energy Conversion

Dimensionalities of materials have more profound connotations than barely the external morphologies. The mechanical, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties a certain material can be significantly influenced by spatial degrees freedom interactions/excitons. Herein, how multidimensionalities affect their physicochemical from perspective photoactive tungsten oxide (WO3) materials, which further influence performances in solar energy conversion applications are looked at. Benefiting fruitful research efforts on WO3-based photocatalysts photoelectrodes, key procedures photoenergy including light absorption, charge separation, surface reaction, discussed to elucidate unique features, advantages, challenges single-dimensional WO3 heterostructures. Then optoelectronic performance mixed-dimensional heterostructures investigated show synergistic effect between specifically combined dimensionalities. dynamic behaviors excitons or carriers within structures at interfaces inspected, with several photophysical chemical phenomena noted for designing other metal semiconductors. A bumper harvest photovoltaics, photocatalysts, photoelectrodes beyond dimensionality is way, hence, it an opportune chance evaluate progress foresee future directions this fast-moving field.
